At this time, Macklin, who claimed to be old, was paying close attention to all the changes in the forest through a Warlock's Eye. With his strength as a high-level Archmage, it was naturally easy to hide from the three's magical perception. This Warlock's Eye had been following behind the three from the beginning. Every detail of the battle did not escape the old man's eyes, including Lin Li's breakthrough.
The expression on Macklin's face was more serious than ever. The breakthrough just now had really shocked him. A level-13 Magic Shooter at the age of 20 was no longer something that could be described with the word "genius". If this were to spread, even the Supreme Council would be alarmed.
"Damn it, Gerian, that old bastard …" Macklin could not understand how Gerian, that grumpy old fellow, dared to have such good luck. It was almost like picking up a magical monster for free.
The more the old man thought about it, the more indignant he became. "No, I have to think of a way to get this kid to Alanna. What future does a rural place like Jarrosus have? Staying there is purely a waste of life. But if I do this, it will be hard to explain to Gerian … Why don't I just exchange 10 Magic Shooters with him? Yes, yes, yes … That's it. I'll go back and let Aldwin talk to Gerian!"
"Hmm?" Macklin was talking to himself when he suddenly sensed a strange magical wave. Then, his expression changed. "F * ck, why is this bastard here!"
In his anxiety, the old man did not care that he was already old. He cast the Levitation Spell and flew above the forest.
…
The increase in the level of magic gave Lin Li a feeling of unprecedented power. It was as if he could release a huge elemental power with just a raise of his hand. Even walking in the gloomy forest at this time, he felt that his footsteps were much lighter than usual.
Following the marks left by his roommates along the way, Lin Li quickly found the two who were struggling to find their way.
"Damn it, Macklin, that old bastard …" Mason held the map in his hand, and desperately cursed his trial mentor while groping in the thorny bushes.
He had to admit that the map in his hand was really very abstract. The crooked lines were like earthworms. Mason was almost driven crazy by them. This damn map was really f * cking useless!
Mason kept complaining. It was rare that Orrin did not scold him for being an idiot. He just shook his head helplessly. Even he was almost driven crazy by this map. He even suspected that this map was simply a conspiracy drawn by that old bastard Macklin to lead them into a trap.
"Felic!" Mason was fretting and uneasy when he suddenly saw his roommate coming from behind him. For a moment, a smile of surprise appeared on his face. He felt like a drowning man who had suddenly found a life-saving straw. In the past two days, Lin Li had really brought him too many surprises, so much so that in Mason's heart, his roommate had already become an omnipotent person — the so-called omnipotence naturally included understanding this damned map.
"Are you alright?" Orrin asked from afar, but there was an additional trace of doubt in his expression.
Looking at this abnormal roommate coming from afar, Orrin vaguely felt that there seemed to be something different about him. But exactly what was different, Orrin could not tell. If he had to accurately describe it, he was afraid that he could only say that he was stronger — stronger than before.
"Yes."
Lin Li walked over with a face full of smiles. Mason hurriedly stuffed the map into his hands. The anxious look on his face was as if he was not handing over a map, but a bomb that could explode at any time. "This damn map, I can't understand it at all …"
"I can't understand it either." Lin Li smiled, and put the map into his pocket. "But this is very normal. If I did not guess wrongly, the old fellow did not intend to let us understand it from the beginning."
"I knew this old bastard had a conspiracy …" Mason gritted his teeth.
Lin Li shook his head. "It's not really a conspiracy. It's nothing more than creating some more difficulties for us to gain more combat experience."
"Then what should we do? Do we really have to kill our way through … "
"It's not impossible to kill our way through …" Lin Li scratched his head. To be honest, he was really a little tempted. The epiphany just now had allowed him to have a deeper understanding of life and death battles. But considering Mason's psychological endurance, he still very reluctantly suppressed this idea. He only put his hand into his pocket, and took out a sky blue glass bottle. "But next time … Forget it for today, let's finish the mission first."
"Help me catch an animal."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Mason's eyes immediately lit up. Without waiting for Lin Li to continue to instruct him, he went off happily alone. After all, this fellow was also a level-nine mage. Although his strength was far from his two roommates, catching small animals was still a piece of cake for him. Within a few minutes, he walked out from a pile of bushes with a wretched smile on his face, carrying a wild rabbit upside down in his hand.
Lin Li took the wild rabbit from Mason's hand. One hand pinched the rabbit's mouth, and the other opened the glass bottle. Then, very carefully, he dripped two drops into the wild rabbit's mouth.
"Felic, what did you feed it to drink?" Mason watched from the side. The incomparably mysterious potion filled his heart with curiosity.
"Emerald Dream." Lin Li weighed the amount as he patiently answered Mason, "A potion that can turn a mage into a Druid. I will drink some later, and then I can talk to it."
Mason's eyes lit up as he listened. "That's so interesting. Can I try it?"
"Of course." Lin Li passed the bottle of Emerald Dream to him without hesitation. After that, he kindly reminded, "Remember, just drink a few drops. Don't drink too much. The effect of this thing is very strong."
Mason had lived for more than 20 years, but he had never drunk such a high-level potion before. At this moment, with the Emerald Dream in his hand, he directly opened the cork and poured the contents into his mouth. Lin Li had only said half of his sentence, and he had already almost finished the whole bottle. When the words "very strong" came out of his mouth, it was too late for Mason to regret.
"What … will happen if I drink too much?"
"Nothing much. It's just that the effect lasts for a longer time."
"Oh …" Mason was then relieved. He waited for the potion to take effect with a face full of anticipation.
Seeing that Mason was so excited, the two did not disturb him. They directly found a place to sit down, and patiently waited for him.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, they saw Mason pushing aside the bushes and walking towards the place where the two were resting.
"How was it? Did you get anything out of him?"
"Too much …" Mason had an exaggerated expression on his face. "That little rabbit told me everything. There was indeed an old guy with a goatee who buried something in the forest just now. The Emerald Dream is really amazing. I even got the location out of him. It's not far from here. Let me bring you there now. Hahaha … That old bastard Macklin would never expect that we would find that thing in this way!"
"…"
It was Mason's first time communicating with an animal. Besides the novelty, his heart was abnormally excited. Along the way, he spoke a few times more than usual. "That little rabbit is too interesting. It even told me just now that its home is at the north side of the forest. It has more than 10 brothers and sisters at home … and also …"
"Wait a minute …" Just as Mason was happily gesticulating, Lin Li suddenly felt a strange magical wave.
"Someone is coming." Orrin nodded. The words that came out of his mouth were as short as usual.
"Who's there?" Mason was the only one who looked around with a blank expression.
Orrin glared at him. Just as he was about to speak, there was a burst of light footsteps coming from the forest.
The three of them looked back, and saw a few people in robes walking out from the bushes. Two of them were young, and were actually familiar faces that they had seen the day before.
"It's them …" Lin Li was slightly stunned. He still remembered these two fellas. They were the ones who had hurt Orrin with Matthias yesterday.
As for the middle-aged man with them, Lin Li did not know him. This man looked to be in his forties. He had a square face, a tall and straight figure, and looked very dignified. Compared to Macklin, who was born with a wretched goatee, it was like heaven and earth. He was also wearing a black robe, which was the standard attire of a trial mentor in Alanna.
"Mentor Aeron, it's the three of them!" When the two saw Lin Li from afar, they immediately shouted loudly as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded a little hoarse, but his gaze towards Lin Li and the others was extremely sharp. When his gaze fell on Lin Li, he even felt a faint trace of fear.
"Eh … This person looks familiar," Mason muttered to himself as he stood behind Lin Li.
"That's right …" Lin Li immediately realized that this middle-aged man looked rather familiar after being reminded by him.
